Good in theory
If this app worked, it would be great. My 4yo daughter loves it but is disappointed on a regular basis bc the only prizes she gets is food. She rarely ever gets the spray paint, which like another reviewer said, is the most valuable prize. Also like the other reviewer said, the parenting dashboard does not allow the parents to give credit for kids brushing without using the app. My daughter is gone every other weekend, and I know she is brushing her teeth, but I cannot give her credit where credit is due. Also she doesn’t always want to use the app because the prices are boring so she brushes her teeth without using the app, and I still can’t give her credit. This app seriously needs fixing. It would be great in theory if it actually worked. I can also see that reviewer‘s have been complaining about the same thing for a long time now, and nothing has been fixed. So it doesn’t seem to me like the company cares much about the reviewer‘s comments.

Start Early
Earlier this year,I got the sonic toothbrush for my husband, oldest son and myself and after using it and getting great results I purchased the SonicareKids for my youngest son that’s 5. He loves talking care of his “friend” everyday. Sometimes he will brush his teeth twice in one sitting just to see his character do something different. As with the other sonic toothbrushes, you have to clean them to get the excess toothpaste that runs down the handle and under the attachable head. That’s normal maintenance that was mentioned in the instructions under caring for your sonic toothbrush. One review reported that this toothbrush is a breeding ground for bacteria and it has the potential if you are not the cleaning behind the decorative face. I guess they did not read the instructions; however, to alleviate this issue,I didn’t install the clip, I just put the sticker on. Start your child out young to prevent dental problems in the future.

Great app but Sparkly needs more long term prizes!!
My kids (7 and 4) love this app! It keeps them excited to brush every day. I’d love to see an update for Sparkly though. My kids love his tricks (flipping, burping, repeating what you say, etc), and all the different backgrounds. As the parent, I love that you have to earn some of these over multiple consistent brushings. My kids have earned all the long term prizes already and the daily prizes (clothes, food, spray, etc) aren’t as motivating. I’d love to see more long term prizes for the kids to work toward. Sparkly is a brilliant idea that needs just needs a little sprucing up!!
